Chapelle Sainte-Croix de Saint-Martin-Vésubie

About

Sainte-Croix Chapel, or Chapel of the White Penitents, is a Catholic chapel located in the commune of Saint-Martin-Vésubie in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. It is built in a Baroque Alpine style with a richer decor than that of the chapel of Mercy because its maintenance was ensured thanks to the transalpine trade of salt and sheet. The fraternity of the white penitents took care of the hospital in Saint-Martin.
